FO (Finished Object)s
Slippers Basic Chunky Slipper by Patons. Double knit with two strands of donated yarn. My children and nieces and nephews love them.
WIPs (Works in Progress)
Ten Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown with the donated yarn and completed squared knit in.
Julia Farwell-Clay Fingerless Mitts using colour work. I love the Fleece and Harmony Crow Wing and Moonlight! I got the colours in fingering yarn to try another colour work mitten with it. I knit way too loose thus the mitt is way too big. It will be frogged.
Sneak peak of a new sweater design. Hugs and Kisses sweater based on the Baby Boo Blankie pattern.
Gavin’s Full Sized Blanket made with 4.5 mm (US 7) needles in Knit Picks Dishie. It is in a blanket bag by The Knitting Bag PEI on Etsy.
Healing/Strength Shawl with crescent shape ends and Beach Day Pattern through length of shawl. Using 4.0 mm (US 6) Indian Lake Artisans hexagonal needles and Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball Metallic in colour 307 cleansing quartz.
Incantation Socks by Kay Jones cast on the second pair of them. Using 2.0 mm (US 0) Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles 9″ by ChiaoGoo. I love knitting socks on these short needles.
